I believe the format that will support the current DVD standard AND the higher definition standard will win. A HD DVD could carry the old DVD stream and the higher definition stream. Most people are not going to dump their old DVD players with the promise of a better picture. You need a big screen HD monitor and a deep living room to fully realize the benefit of HD video.

DVDs will rule for next 3 to 5 years.
